Bollgard 3 cotton provides the latest in-built protection against the larvae of Helicoverpa spp., one of the cotton industry's most significant insect pests. It is a third generation product, which follows the introduction of Bollgard II. When compared to Bollgard II, Bollgard 3 contains an additional third protein which improves the stability of insect control during the growing season and offers improved benefits for resistance management.

Roundup Ready Flex cotton possesses both vegetative and reproductive tolerance to the Roundup® family of herbicides. While the first generation product, Roundup Ready cotton, contains one copy of the CP4EPSPS gene, Roundup Ready Flex contains two copies. It also has a unique promoter sequence that allows for the expression of the CP4-EPSPS protein in the reproductive plant parts as well as the vegetative plant tissue. Results from several years of research and commercialisation in both Australia and the US have shown that Roundup Ready Flex cultivars are tolerant to excessive Roundup applications well into flowering.
